distance from the dais. however, they rose
and walked away, leaving the queen and
myself alone, with the exception OF The
mutes and n few guards, most OF the latter
having departed with the doomed men.
Thinking this a good opportunity, l asked
She to come and see Leo, telling her of his
serious condition; but she would not, say
ing that he certainly would not die before
the night, as people never died OF that sort
OF fever except at nightfall or dawn. Also
she said that It would be better to let the
fever spend its coarse as much as possible
before she cured it. Accordingly / was

her, as she would talk with me, and show
me the wonders Of the caves.
I was too much involved in the web OF

I had wished to, which / did not. She rose
from her chair, and making some signs to
the mutes, descended from the dais.
Thereon four of the girls took lamps, and
ranged themselves two In front and two

Washington Cranks.

It is generally conceded that there are more cranks in Washington in propor- tion to its population than in any other city in the United States, writes core spondent of the Baltimore Sun. None have better opportunity to judge of this fact than those who are engaged in newspaper work here. There are several positively dangerous female cranks who hang about the departments pursuing imaginary claims. The wild, hungry look in their eyes establishes their iden- tity at glance. AS long as their ram bling, disconnected utterances are toler- ated they appear harmless, but when they are treated with apparent indlffer- ence they become violent, and consider able tact is necessary to pacify them. How these poor creatures manage to cx- ist is Q mystery, as they have worn the same old, shabby clothes for many sea- sons, and their faces have pinched and half-starvcd look, while their eyes at times seem almost starting from their sockets. Absolute despair will sooner or later take possession of these unfortu-. mates, and there is no telling what the result may be.

First Class Studies at West Point.

During no year had the class found an easy course of study, and the first-class course was like the others in requiring the closest attention. The class drew strange-looking plans of Notifications; they built theoretical bridges, and prac- tical ones also; they slowly registered the elements of the Spanish language, and daily shocked the professor by their un- Castilian accent; they discovered the analogy between the Claws of the Medes and Persians" and the regulations of the Military Academy; and they skinned over the history of the world from its settlement by Adam to the pres ent time. They became adopts in the manufacture of shot and shell, and all weapons of attack and defense; they be- came deeply versed in law, international, constitutional, and military; they rode, they marched, they studied, they drilled; they built parapets and miniature forts, and then demolished them; they con- structed pontoon bridges, spar bridges and rafts; they would have explained to you the minutest details in the manu- facture of gunpowder and dynamite, or told you just where the plans of battle of great military leaders were defective. In fact, they became walking encyclo- pedias of useful military knowledge.- St. Nicholas.

National Floral Emhlems

Many nations and sovereigns have had plants and flowers as their emblems. The rose of England became especially famous during the War of the Roses, after which the red and white were uni ted, and the rose of both colors is called the York and Lancaster; but when these flowers first became badges of the two houses cannot discover. The thistle is honored as the emblem of Scotland from the circumstance that once upon a time a party of Danes having approached the Scottish camp unperceived by night, were on the point of attacking it, when one of the soldiers trod on thistle, which caused him to cry out, and so aroused the enemy The shamrock of Ireland was held by St. Patrick to teach the doctrine of the Trinity, and chosen in remembrance of him. It is always worn by the Irish on St. P; t,ick's Day.

Along 8 Dutch Canal.

To follow out the line of canal is to sec continuous picture-now it is a blue ribbon through the green of the fields, again small village is passed, the brown hulls and queer sails of the canal boats are continually composing, and at its close you glide into asleepy old town, every inch of whichi is an artistic treasure, deepened and hamonized, as are all it's colors, by the humidity of the atmos- phere. With the exception that they are broader, the rivers present similar picturesque qualities to the canals-the same low-lying banks, fringed with willows, the same boats; indeed, one mouth of the Rhine is but canal in Holland. Near the sea, on some of the more important rivers, singularly beautiful effect is produced by the large cities upon them, with ship ping lying at their qaays, sad the broad, mirror.Mke surface of the water rejecting and doubling all the beauties of color present. How blue is this water, repeating the cloud-forms in the skies, thrown into prominence by the vivid green on the banks and the reds and browns of the cities in the background
 Zealand, surrounded by large river: which seek the sea through it in myriads of canals and ditches, gives peculiarly Dutch landscape-the roads, banked up crossing the streams by bridges whos' arch, high enough to permit the passag' of canal-hoat, often frames the mos charming bits; windmill few olt houses irregular in line, the brown-yellov of their roof-tiles and bricks enhanced b, the glad blue of the sky and sunlight green of the elds.-[Scribner.

Stings of Bees and Other Insects.

Stinging insects always inflict poi stinging insect consists of two fine, sharp darts, surrounded by tubular sheath. which are connected at their bases with special venom sack, and, when the sting is inserted into the flesh, these venom glands inject their poison down tho grooved darts, and thus inoculate the victim.
 Treatment-Many insects leave their stings in the flesh, where they may be detected as minute black specks. They should be extracted by pressing a watch key over them, which will cause them to protulde, and then using pair of tweezers.
 In moderate cases, local irritation, which may be arrested by salt or harts- horn, is all that the wounded ones suffer. But, if dizzy faintness be the outcome, opiates and cordials must be given. It may happen that a bee or wasp is swallowed in taking drink of water hurriedly, or in the dark, and from the moment the sting enters the throat, the fauces swell so rapidly that the patient is in immediate danger of suffocation. A gargle of hot water and salt should be used pending the arrival of physician.
